The River Lidoire’s Source |
|
In connection with these two rites
Bosset has, as already indicated and “as if by chance”, the
source and, even more importantly, the Benedictine Abbey. The
source was dedicated to St Eutrope (patron saint of healers
and the sick, a disciple of St Denis and Bishop of Saintes.
Sources dedicated to St Eutrope are generally recommended for
rheumatism and bone disorders - phonetically speaking Eutrope
and ‘estropié’ [meaning crippled, maimed] are very close). The
parish church, however, is dedicated to St James the Elder (the
venerated apostle of Compestella who is celebrated on 25
July).”
